Our one-week Youth Exploration is a great introduction to Salolampi for Finnish language learners of all levels, ages 7-11.

Villagers in one-week sessions explore language and culture through an introductory immersion experience featuring games, sports, crafts, music, outdoor activities, etc. Emphasis is on listening comprehension and speaking.

Typical Day

Päiväohjelma (Daily Schedule)

Every day is different from the one before, but here’s something to give you an idea of what it’s like to be a Salolampilainen (Salolampi villager). The Finnish fun starts the moment you say hyvää huomenta (good morning) and doesn’t stop until you leave the evening nuotio (campfire) and say hyvää yötä (good night) to your new friends.

Jokainen päivä on erilainen, mutta tästä saat kuvan minkälainen on normaali päivä Salolammella.
